Gargiulo Gains at Moneymaker's Expense
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Chris Moneymaker raised to 600 from the hijack and was called by Joseph Gargiulo in the big blind.
Gargiulo check-called an 800 bet from Moneymaker on the 10♦8♠J♠ flop and then announed a dark check before the 2♠ fell on the turn.
"Check dark?" the 2003 Main Event Champ said. "How about... 1,400?" Moneymaker then put in said bet.
"Let's make it 2,800," Gargiulo replied as he stuck in a raise. Moneymaker called.
Gargiulo then announced another dark check before the 8♣ completed the board.
"Check-raise then check in the dark? That's a new one," Moneymaker said. "Alright, lets see them." Moneymaker then checked behind and Gargiulo showed Q♠6♠ for a flush.
"That beats my pair," Moneymaker said as he sent his hand into the muck.
